Golden Artist Colours: Heavy Body Acrylic 59ml

Looking for Artist Quality Acrylic?


Known for their exceptionally smooth, buttery consistency, Golden Artist Colours offer great Artist Quality products with excellent permanency and lightfastness. Made with unique pure pigments in a 100% acrylic emulsion and no fillers, extenders, opacifiers, toners or dyes.
 
Golden Heavy Body paints have the ability to 'stand up' and retain brush strokes or palette knife marks on the canvas yet also 'thixotropic' in nature and feel much thinner when brushed or stirred.

Each Heavy Body colour formula reflects the qualities of its pigment. Colours that tolerate a higher pigment load dry to a more opaque, matte finish. 

Also available in Interference, Iridescent & Fluorescents Colours!

Lightfastness, Pigment Selection & ASTM Standards

Every colour within the HB Line is approved for professional artist use according to ASTM Standards for Artist Materials. These standards regulate paint consistency and demand fineness and lightfastness of chosen pigments, use of 100% acrylic binder, freeze-thaw stability, and accuracy of labelling for pigments used. Evaluation by an approved toxicologist is required.

Of the 101 HB colours, 94 within the line are considered excellent in lightfastness (the ability to withstand colour change due to exposure to light). The remaining 7 are rated very good for lightfastness. GOLDEN does not use any colours within the HB line rated less than very good. Those colours rated as very good include the two Naphthols, Hansa Yellow Light, Permanent Green Light, Dioxazine Purple, Green Gold, and Primary Yellow. It should be noted that of the colours rated as excellent in lightfastness, the Cadmium colours are especially sensitive to the combination of light and moisture, so outdoor use of these colours should be avoided.
